  Good Pinot for the price, but not in the range of higher end. Raspberry, cherry, a hint of chocolate, some earth, I found it to be a bit harsh in both heat and acidiity, liked it a bit better slightly chilled. NIce finish, grows on you a bit. This was my first Chilean Pinot, so I hardly am an expert, but while I wouldn't turn it down on sale its probably priced best under $14. Drank it with turkey burgers and cilantro with yukon gold potatoes and it paired very well.

  Chocolate, brown sugar, cinnamon, cherry and mint flavor with smooth, fine tannins. Elegant, medium body and pleasant acidity - Burgundian.

  Paired perfectly with a grilled pork chop, tortellini with alfredo sauce and balsamic asparagus salad.

  Cherry Jolly Rancher, a bit of herbs, weird chemical smell. Bizarre nose, intriguing and kind of revolting at the same time.
  
  Day 2 showed cherries, raspberries, more herbs, manure, and socks. TCA? maybe. The finish is reminiscent of the taste formed when drinking orange juice after brushing the teeth...
  
  $6.99, average to worse...75 points but possibly corked. I'd have returned this if I hadn't drunk 2/3 of the bottle before the stink really emerged.

  Dark cranberry juice color. Light, herbal nose and pine aromas and some red berry fruits, however, I wish more fruits would come through. Mostly cherry and some plum flavors with light notes of oak. Nice tannins and pleasant (somewhat spicy) finish but a little harsh on the acidity side.
  Overall, a lighter, slightly unbalanced yet very accessible Pinot Noir that should pair well with grilled salmon, oven-roasted chicken, or even grilled plain pork brats; I got this Pinot on sale for under $7 and as such it is a GREAT value!
